The Addition 2.0

There's no doubt that that Kate Middleton photo is a major comms strategy screw-up that has generated a lot of attention. (I wrote about it for CapX.) But has anyone noticed that Americans seem more excited by the whole saga than us Brits?! The next few months are going to be very interesting for "GB News". It seems happy to push the boundaries, but how far can that go, especially during an election campaign? The regulator Ofcom is now watching the upstart broadcaster, although I don't get the sense from anyone that there is a realistic chance of its broadcast licence being revoked. It is going to get contentious though. The Addition 2.0You may have noticed that The Addition was a bit quiet last week. That’s because some exciting things are happening. Firstly, this newsletter is going (almost entirely) paid only. The full Tuesday and Friday versions, and the archive, will be available only to paid subscribers. These are going to include longer analysis pieces as well as all the good stuff that ends up in my notebook. Free subscribers will still get something though. When the podcast returns, (which will be soon,) I will send that out to the entire list, along with some other snippets that I hope you will enjoy. However, the in-depth analysis and news will be paywalled. Paid subscriptions are the best way to support the ongoing growth of The Addition and I really appreciate anyone who takes one out. There are big scoops and pieces of analysis that I’m working on, so subscribers will get plenty of value. I’m also offering the first 20 people to take out a new subscription a 20% discount, so don’t delay!
There is a growing amount of content from The Addition. I’ve ramped up the blog, which remains without a paywall. It is regularly updated with the news and analysis from where tech and media meet, so keep checking back there. Separate from the reporting, I’ve launched the Newsletter Masterclass too. If you want to launch or grow your own newsletter, check it out!
The Addition is two years old and only growing to be bigger and better. Thank you all for your ongoing support. |

Too Much of a Good Thing
On this week's podcast, I spoke to the New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin about NPR and the outburst from its former producer Uri Berliner. As I understand it, Berliner's colleagues were somewhat shocked when his essay was released by The Free Press. There are now concerns about him being dragged into the right-wing media ecosystem in the US. Worth keeping an eye on what podcasts he pops up on. There is... uhum... febrile speculation in the UK today that prime minister Rishi Sunak will...
